Systems and Methods for Predicting Coronary Plaque Vulnerability from Patient Specific Anatomic Image Data

3. The method of claim 1 wherein extracting the geometric feature includes extracting a shape, geometry, angle, location of the plaque relative to the vessel, stenosis of the vessel, vessel size, vessel shape, or combinations thereof.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein extracting the geometric feature is performed automatically with the processor or semi-automatically with the processor and a user input.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the biochemical feature of the plaque includes a level of serum C-reactive protein.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the anatomical, biomechanical, and hemodynamic features are all obtained without invasion of the patient.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein at least one of the one or more treatments includes a combination of more than one treatment.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein at least one of the one or more treatments includes a combination of more than one treatment.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 wherein extracting the geometric feature includes extracting a shape, geometry, angle, location of the plaque relative to the vessel, stenosis of the vessel, vessel size, vessel shape, or combinations thereof.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 18, wherein at least one of the one or more treatments includes a combination of more than one treatment.
